This is a rewarding opportunity to influence positive workforce outcomes by providing expert employee relations support across Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust. You will manage a varied caseload, offering professional advice and guidance on disciplinary, grievance, capability, attendance and wellbeing matters, while supporting managers to confidently navigate complex people challenges.
As a trusted HR partner, you will play a key role in promoting fair, consistent and compassionate people practices. You will contribute to policy development, deliver training, analyse workforce data and support initiatives that strengthen employee engagement and organisational performance.
This role offers the chance to work at the heart of workforce transformation, helping to create a positive, inclusive and high-performing workplace culture. If you are an excellent communicator with strong employee relations expertise, sound judgement and a proactive approach to problem-solving, we would love to hear from you.
Join us and be part of a team that is shaping the future of employee relations, supporting our people to deliver outstanding care to our communities.
If successful, you will provide expert employee relations advice and guidance to managers across Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust, ensuring the consistent application of employment policies, procedures and best practice. You will manage a varied caseload of complex and sensitive employee relations matters, including disciplinary, grievance, bullying and harassment cases, providing practical solutions that support both managers and employees while balancing organisational and legal requirements.
Working closely with senior stakeholders, you will interpret employment legislation and Trust policy, helping to resolve issues promptly and effectively while promoting positive employee relations. You will also manage Freedom of Information (FOI) requests, Subject Access Requests (SARs) and other reporting requirements, ensuring compliance with data protection legislation and governance standards.
The role will involve supporting the Head of Employee Relations with ACAS conciliation and Employment Tribunal cases, including preparing documentation, drafting responses, coordinating witness statements and maintaining comprehensive case records.

Our ambition is to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and well-being of our patients, and provide a vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
